But it requires multiple logins, perhaps many at once, which might be
wasteful. For sharing database connections between several [psql]
objects, what do you think would be the best ways to do it? This is
supposing that several different database connections can still be
used at once, as specified in the patches.
In one of the early prototypes I wrote for this, I set it up so that the connections were shared. Basically, when an object tried to open a connection, it would check if there was already one open, and if so, it would use that. Else it would create a new connection, which would then get stored in the global connection object.
One thing that I would be curious about would be any collisions in using a shared object, but I also think that should be something left to think about in building the PD patch.
